If I have to trace back an inventor, I think it was Holcoby Locke. He provided the venue and led to the emergence and development of freestyle basketball.

Basketball Temple, Rucker Park, Harlem, New York City

In 1965, Holcoby Locke, a worker from the New York City Parks Department, decided to make good use of this area, so he made a series of improvements to the garbage dump, paved it with asphalt and paved the court surface. The favorite street basketball league moved to the open space in the park of the eldest sister No. 155 in Harlem.

At that time, Rucker Park not only provided a place for entertainment and sports for neighborhood children, but also saved many slum teenagers who were likely to go astray. This free park allows children who should have been fooling around in society to find another world on the court.

Rucker Park also has its own basketball league - "Entertainers Basketball Classic" (EBC for short). They also have their own website, LOGO, jerseys, etc. Unlike the NBA, EBC is completely free. The playoffs start after the NBA ends, usually starting early in the evening. Fans who come here to watch the game can sit in the open-air seats or climb to nearby railings or trees. Got a better view.
